It will be intriguing to anticipate Erik ten Hag's player lineup announcement during Manchester United vs. Liverpool on Monday. According to reports, Harry Maguire's status as United's primary central defender is in jeopardy due to his inconsistent play in defeats to Brighton & Hove Albion (1-2) and Brentford (0-4). As a result, United must hold the last place in the standings.
According to reports, the Dutch manager will opt to start without Maguire and try to pair Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez in the middle of defense.
I think this will be a very important match for Manchester United especially Ten Hag to prove that he has a bright future for Manchester United. Moreover, Manchester United have not even tasted victory in the first 2 matches this season. and if Manchester United managed to get a win I think this will make the mentality of the players will be better and vice versa if they experience defeat this will make Manchester United's players will continue to decline mentally.
It's difficult for a team that is mentally depressed to win against a team like Liverpool, especially since Liverpool also failed to win the previous 2 matches which of course they will really aim for victory in this match.
now Manchester United are slumped on all fronts not just their defense, I don't think not playing Harry Maguire will make Manchester United's defense stronger.
In this match, I will still be the favorite for Liverpool to beat Manchester United with a big score.
